Friend -- we’re emailing for $3.

Here's why:

We recently got word that David Valadao reported a record-setting fundraising haul in his bid to retake CA-21. To respond, we set a goal of generating 1,500 online donations in 48-hours to prepare for the attacks coming our way.

Unlike Valadao, we're rejecting corporate PAC money. That means contributions from individual donors -- $3 at a time -- are powering our campaign to keep CA-21 blue.

We’re closing in on our target, but with one day until our deadline, we’re still just short, so we need to ask:

Will you make a contribution to help us reach our end-of-month goal? With our opponent raising enormous sums, we can’t afford to fall behind.

The race for California's 21st District is quickly turning into one of the most competitive House races in the country.

If we want to win this race, and keep TJ in the House, we need your help going toe-to-toe with Valadao’s corporate cash.

That's why your support is so important.

Team TJ
